Suppose there is a scout from abroad who came tonight (Sunday) to watch the game between Bnei Sakhnin and MS Ashdod. He probably did not enjoy regular football, but he probably wondered what Yaakov Barihon did for 72 minutes on the Ashdod bench.
The talented midfielder is perhaps one of the most underrated players in the Premier League.
This is not the first time he has done with the ball things that are worth double or triple his own pay in larger teams.
Someone needs to decipher what happened to him on the way and how he got to the Ashdod bench.

What Barihun did in overtime, was worth the trip to Doha in freezing cold and pouring rain.
His movement, the lightness that came to drive the defensive players in front of him crazy and sent the ball to Gad Amos' connections, is something for which a ticket is bought, even if it is Sakhnin fans.
More than that there is not much to tell about this game.
Until the magic of Barihun, it was like something invisible.
Haim Sylves began his career as Sakhnin coach with a loss.
So there is Corona, missing key players and other excuses.
To his predecessor in this position did not help despite the certainly reasonable results.
